Reason 5,435,529 why Tightwad loves me.

Note to Self:When you have an unusually warm day, and the snow melts and everything is SOAKING WET, do NOT try an 18 point turn in your steep driveway.

Odds are great that you will NARROWLY MISS the lovely rock wall that lines the driveway, and gauge at least ONE HUNDRED deep holes in the grass that your husband tenderly planted and tried to re-grow last summer after LAST winter’s debacle. Yeah, and that three point turn will take at LEAST 100 turns.(And several righteous mud slides.)

You halted your getaway long enough to take photos of the evidence? My dear, we need to get you into secret agent training. This shit has to be clandestine if you expect to make it out alive--and married.

Just tell him: "Those aren't tire-marks. That is a mysterious message left by time-and-space-traveling aliens (like the symbols in the cornfields ??? ) who are trying to tell you who will win the Superbowl."

I don't understand snow, freezing weather, ice and steep driveways. I'm a Southern Calif girl living not far from the beach. Just seeing pix's of snow and ice make me cold! Props to you for trying to make those turns, you showed great driving skills!Take care, Sue

I would kill you if you did that to my lawn. Seriously. I am the lawn person at my home, and I yell at the kids if they walk to roughly on it. Do you realize the work that goes in to it? Tightwad really does love you. Either that or he lives under the motto "It's cheaper to keep her". Either way, you are lucky. :)

You can come and hide here. When it snowed, we couldn't even get our car close to our house. And you'd struggle to drive onto our lawn - it's a few feet above the road. Yep, I think I can safely hide you without worrying about possible damage!

I did that one time, BUT I went into the neighbor's yard. I blamed it on pregnant brain and made my husband go talk to them about it - and apologize profusely while offering to fix it when spring rolled around.

To make you feel better I will post pictures of what I did to my yard trying to back up and then you can laugh at me and it will make you feel better because surely you would never make THAT big of a mess. Just saying, when you are afraid you will get in trouble, always point at something else and said "At least I didn't do that!"

Don't forget to tip the waitress. I really DO live on tips....

Cause I know you want to buy stuff...

About Me

I am a teacher, a writer, and the mother of three children. I've decided I'll never give up. No matter how many battles I lose; no matter how many tears I shed; no matter how many martinis I have to drink, I will continue to fight the good fight! I love to laugh, believe that every day is a new day, and thank God each morning that I am still here.
